Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Academy was not only the extra layer of security we needed, but also the extra time and peace of mind. It allowed us to feel safe in the steps we took by using a single source of reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable information.
If I had to fault something, the only thing that made us slightly confused was the pace - we chose to watch the content as we worked through it, but the evidence gathering stage takes a lot of time and we were unsure of what came next, but it felt odd to watch videos on things we were not yet ready to work on. They do have a suggested timeline and guide for what you need to do and which lessons you need to watch, but it took a lot longer for us to prepare our application than that.
Rofia was always available whenever we had any questions, either via email or the handy facebook group. She's very kind and her communication is very clear.
Overall, I would recommend it for anyone who's looking to apply on their own, while taking a big chunk of anxiety out of the process.
